Perhaps, if you would go through the steps that you used to network the computers, we would have a clue. Did you install netbeui? You could go here: http://www.practicallynetworked.com/sharing/netbeui.htm to step you through that. Or, did you use TCP/IP and asssign addresses? Again, if you will give some specifics, it would help.
